Fundamental Rights in the Use and Abuse of the Social Networks in Italy: Criminal Aspects. Part 2
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
This analysis of criminal behaviour in the use and abuse of social networks focuses, firstly, on the crimes that this behaviour can lead to (epigraphs 3 to 6) – some of which have been introduced recently, such as child grooming – where users of these networks can be both the offender or victim in the violation of the fundamental rights affected by such behaviour (epigraph 2). Secondly, it looks at the question of the possible criminal responsibility of social network managers – who are taking on an increasingly incisive role and becoming more important agents in the system’s evolution, and, thus, also in the strategies for preventing and controlling criminal activities on the web (epigraph 7). The main critical aspects arising from this research highlight initial indications for how to adapt the criminal law regulating this area to the current needs.
